Voltage Does Not Drive Prestin (SLC26a5) Electro-Mechanical Activity at High Frequencies Where Cochlear Amplification Is Best
Summary: Cochlear amplification denotes a boost to auditory sensitivity and selectivity that is dependent on outer hair cells from Corti's organ. Voltage-driven electromotility of the cell is believed to feed energy back into the cochlear partition via a cycle-by-cycle mechanism at very high ac...
